[News] France chaos on the rail network - Sabotage -

[Insel affe]

hmmmm.

I wonder who is behind this action, the right, left or eco protestors ?
Russians !!

The French have a history of extreme protests, and this on the opening day of the Olympics.

The French love a protest. Surprised sheep are not involved. Or manure.

The French are revolting. Plus ca change...

A French journalist on 5Live this morning was happy to try and pin it on the Russians.

I'm going to stick with that as my working hypothesis.

Could be Russian sympathisers...

Quite possible

Honestly....the French don't need any help or encouragement from the Russians to have a protest....

If it is proved to be the Russians which I think is highly likely can’t see them competing at an Olympics for a very long time

A change of leader and direction they will be welcomed back.

Very odd that no group has come forward to claim responsibility for it all. Not much of a protest if you don't declare what you are protesting against.

 

[Vicar!]

I got stuck at Dieppe during the Euros (2016) going to a game. Fortunately, a psychotic local commuter launched a one-woman protest in the station manager's office. After much gallic screaming, the manager surrendered and we all got taxi dockets to Rouen.

wouldn’t happen in Germany at the Euros.

Exactly this

Makes it more sinister (if possible) and could point to the Russians?

What are you talking about? The Germans love a protest. Surprised big sausages with curry sauce are not involved. Or massive glasses of ice cold beer.

At the beginning of the Euros, one of the 5Live presenters was talking to a local journalist about how he was looking forward to travelling around the country on the train.

The journalist told him he was in for a shock as, contrary to the cliched view of German efficiency, German trains are shocking.

By the end of the Euros, the whole 5Live team were fed up with German trains, their frequent lengthy delays and cancellations.

TL;DR - it seems the Germans didn't need sabotage to f*** their trains up.

Kirill Griaznov, Russian lawyer-turned-chef, was directed by the Kremlin’s intelligence services to stage “large-scale” acts of “destabilization” at the opening of the Olympic Games in France on July 26.

Were there more?
